This was how my 1985 Toyota Corolla GT-S hatchback (a.k.a. AE86 or Hachi Roku ) looked in 2004 when it was pretty much still bone stock.
...and how it looks now after some mods:
Some random photos:
Funny photo op during a CarDomain staff car show!
Drift Office Dynojet results: Max Power@101.88 and Max Torque@90.06 to the wheels.
Mad props to Bob of Drift Office and his crew for holding a CarDomain dyno day!
Here's what powers the beast :) the original freshly rebuilt "Skittles" color schemed 4A-GE motor!
My Zenki Trueno rolls on bronze Volk Racing TE37 15X7" +/- 0 offset by RAYS Engineering wrapped in 195/50-15 Yokohama ES100 rubber. This GTS is powered by the original "blue top " twin cam 16 valve 4AG motor which redlines at 7,500 rpm and has been fully rebuilt solely with OEM Toyota parts.
The front and rear AE86 JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) OEM Toyota Trueno bumpers are not only for aesthetics, they significally reduce weight as well.
